It is also the most useful study of Labour's political thought which I have read for some time and a timely reminder that equality is a traditional and recurrent Labour belief.'--Duncan Tanner, University of Wales Bangor 'In recognising the fluid movement of ideas across ideological 'boundaries', and in taking a step away from a narrow emphasis on the great books of great men, Jackson reveals the intellectual rationale behind some deeply held Labour sentiments.
